nothing like a mid afternoon saturday late lunch. we both had lasagna, beef and chicken spinach. got the dinner portion for the salad and extra garlic bread. best lasagna i ever had. came out super hot (temp) and stayed that way for awhile. price was amazing - two dinner lasagnas and two sodas - $46+tip.
service got 3 stars - not gonna lie: she forgot an appetizer we ordered, she didn’t come around and check on us/refresh our beverages and the other servers were very busy with their phones. parking was tricky being street only but we had found a spot after a go-around. chairs had some padding which is rare these days.

Honestly this place hit the spot for pizza. We ordered the BBQ chicken, spinach dip, and they also recommended the Hot Honey Pizza. The pizzas were perfect in proportion to crust and toppings which it being really tasty as well! They offer different sized for the pizzas which is perfect for everyone with different appetites.
The vibe inside is casual and welcoming with the staff member helping us every step of the way and making sure that we were accommodated to which was super nice!

We hosted my daughter’s 21st birthday celebration at Pinocchio Pizza this past Saturday, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. Armen made the booking process fast and super easy—he was very quick to respond to emails and made everything stress-free.
Our server, Jenifer, was wonderful—friendly, attentive, and made sure our semi-private party was taken care. The food was delicious, especially the ravioli and chicken fettuccine Alfredo, which everyone loved.
The service, food, and overall atmosphere were perfect for celebrating such a special milestone. Thank you to the entire team at Pinocchio Pizza for helping make my daughter’s 21st birthday so memorable. We highly recommend this restaurant for celebrations and events!

Poor Customer Service takes too long with the food the food taste like it came out of a microwave the cups are too small only a little kid would drink out of those cups. I would not recommend it. Also they got 2 bathrooms and only 2 people from each table is allowed in each bathroom.

The place is so nice the food was delicious. The service was great. Server's were pleasant and attentive. We were there for a baby shower. It was our first time there. Even though we live in Corona, This place is worth the drive.
A little elevated than your usual sports bar/Italian restaurant. Ambiance is good,They have plenty of seating and multiple tv to watch your favorite sports. Customer service is good and friendly. Obsessed with their pizza, pasta and desserts.

I have to say, this is one of the best Italian food I’ve had in a long time! 🍝 Lunch Portion Beef Lasagna: Lasagna made from homemade meat sauce, ricotta cheese, and topped with parmesan cheese. Served with garlic bread and salad (Caesar shown). Meat sauce is so good. Tastes like nonna made it, fully of flavor! Lunch portion was pretty hearty with garlic bread and salad. Caesar dressing was a little light, maybe more anchovy? 🍕 Personal 10” Chicken Pesto Pizza: Pesto sauce, mozzarella cheese, chicken, sliced tomato, artichoke, mushrooms, and garlic. Personal size was larger than expected. Full of pesto flavor and garlic! 🍳 Carbonara: Creamy spaghetti with cured pork, pepper, and Parmesan. One of the best carbonara I’ve ever had. The cured potk they use to make this dish is outstanding! I couldn’t stop eating it!

Cute pizza place with cozy pub vibes, decent pizza, and a long happy hour menu 3pm to close with a solid selection. Was a nice spot to meet up with the girls for a holiday catch-up sesh!
We ordered some items from the happy hour menu to share - the cheese pizza, the Brussel sprouts, and the bruschetta. The cheese pizza was a good size - more than enough for the four of us to share along with our other items. It was a pretty good pizza - nice flavor overall with just the right amount of cheese and sauce and a nice texture to the crust. I’d definitely order a pizza here again.
The brussel sprouts were ample but bland and I was disappointed. Same with the bruschetta- the bread was nice but it was surprisingly bland for a bruschetta. The portions are very generous, especially given that these were off the happy hour menu, but I wouldn’t get these again.
They have some booth seating available circled around a bar area - the vibe is mostly cozy pub style mixed with a little sports bar feel. They also have a banquet hall separated by a small thin wall - there was a large party going on that was very loud so it was a tad challenging to carry on our convo. But it’s the holiday season and it contributed to a festive, lively vibe overall.
Service was a tad slow and the servers seemed stressed and maybe overwhelmed- possibly by the large party in the banquet room?
Prices were very good - especially for the area. I didn’t see any parking lot - there’s free street parking in the area but it gets crowded easily.
I’d come again to meet up with girls since it’s a good location for us - definitely a good spot for holiday parties and other gatherings.

Cozy atmosphere. Pizza was great. (Hot honey, vodka sauce, pepperoni cups, ricotta cheese) The pasta itself was fresh and chewy, but the sauce was pretty bland (carbonara). Service was OK. I ordered an additional topping for my pizza and server didn't tell me until she brought out the pizza when it was done. (probably should've told me before the pizza went in so I could've gotten a different topping.) Parking appears to be street parking only, but I didn't have an issue finding any.
